SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The following is an extract from a letter received from one of the principal commercial houses in Dantzic, dated the 24th of September last : " Since our last a parcel of 130 lasts finest mixed wheat, weighing 61i pounds per bushel, has been sold at 455. ed. per quarter on board. This transaction is to be considered equally important as if 1,000 lasts had been sold at a time when we are plentifully stocked. " We have confirmed excellent weather, but harvest being finished of wheat it can only prove beneficial for spring corn and for sowing work. They write us from Cujavia, we must anticipate an advance of prices of old fine dry wheat. The yield of the crop in our province will be less than half the quantity of an average crop. The quality of the wheat is as poor as we ever have seen it before—say damp, sickly looking, and not fit for shipment. It is not worth while to touch such stuff, if even obtainable, at low prices. In all the farms which produced fine quality in former years the wheat is grey, dark, and ordinary, of a faint appearance, smutty, flinty, and of a withered, shri velled grain. Sprout is generally complained of, and the weight is 54 to 57iIb. per spudt ; and even after most careful turning in the open air, the weight could not be screwed fur ther up than to 59 and 59f1b., and the wheat kept as hard as old stale wheat of which turning has been neglected during years. All the wheat has been harvested in a state of imma turity—it has been favoured too little by sunny weather during its growing. Rye and spring corn is plenty, but partly damp. From Plock they state that although the latter occupations of harvest had been favoured by fine weather, the result of the crop is a very bad one, both in respect to quality and quantity." The above, and an extract from a Dantzic letter, dated the 17th of September, in a former Number of the Chro nick, may be said to complete the estimates of the Polish crops. So miserably bad are they, that it has been doubted, by persons conversant in the trade, whether 50,000 quarters of wheat will in all be shipped from Poland next year. It was, we understand, rumoured in the beginning of the present year that the Rus sian Government intended to prohibit the export of grain from Polend on account of their own wants, in case prices should continue to advance in this country ; but as prices rose more rapidly in Warsaw than in Dantzic, it was not thought necessary to have recourse to the prohi bition. The Poles sent very little down the stream past Warsaw. To prohibit the exportation of any article or produce from which the nobility of Russia and Prussia de rive their incomes is not a matter which can easily be brought abeet. The nobles must have cash as well as the Governmre. e and the sale of grain and other raw produce is thei- o:iiy resource. In Prussia it would be very diffi cult, if not impossible, to prohibit the exportation of grain. The power of the part;es interested is too strong to be overcome by the Gov ernment. Great alarm, we learn, pre vails among the linen manufacturers of Silesia at the ad vance in the prices of grain, and discontent is openly mani fested in all the manufacturing towns of Prussia on that account. The manufacturers even petitioned the King to prohibit exportation, but it could not be accomplished. In deed the belief of well-informed persons is, that the Prussian Government would rather wish the permanent extension of their agriculture, than foster their manufactures by temporary expedients. The accounts from the north of France received yesterday state that the Government has taken alarm at some small purchases of wheat made in the ports of Dunkirk and Rouen, and has hastened the time for imposing a duty of about ss. per quarter on the ex portation of wheat. This result would soon hare been come to, without the interference of the Government, from the working of the French Corn-law ; but the fact shows the un easiness of the French Government at the prospect of any wheat going out of their country. The example of Belgium, where the export of wheat is prohibited, has been followed. The prices in France are rising, but no atten tion is directed to the fact by the French Press ; it is a sub ject never mentioned. Such arc the fruits of the short sighted avarice of our Corn monopolists. They have so contrived matters that it is believed by the best-informed persons that, so far from there being wheat in store in any part of the world available for exportation to this country, two millions of quarters could not be purchased at any price, and this would only, at our present rate of consump tion, give us a supply for eight weeks. Great uncertainty yet prevails respecting the nature of the crops of Scotland and Ireland, which are only yet partially secured. But, however this may be, the prospect is already sufficiently discouraging. However, evil which is anticipated is gene rally less disastrous than it would otherwise be. To pre vent any class from starving, recourse will, no doubt ,be had, as on former occasions, to the coarsest food. We have always foreseen that the aristocracy of this country, in their blind cupidity, would delay the settlement of this important question till the arrival of some such crisis as that to which reflecting personsare looking forward.—Morning Chronicle. There was in the Times of yesterday a very good article on the subject of duelling in general, and especially in re ference to the punishment of two persons who were found guilty of wilful murder in consequence of being upon the ground when the late fatal affair took place at Wimbledon common. But our Contemporary has been considerably too late in coming forward with a common-sense view of this matter. If instead of following us at the distance of three weeks be had co-operated with us when the tide of popular prejudice ran strong, some good might hare been done in bringing the popular mind to reason upon this dif ficult subject. But it is ever too much the custom of our Contemporary to watch the popular sentiment and to fall in with it, rather than to oppose that sentiment when it runs counter to the cause of truth and fairness. There was something very horrible in the Wimbledon-common duel, which naturally enough impressed the popular feeling with indignation, and a certain obscure panting after ven geance. And, with the usual wisdom of the popular body, the feeling which arose against those concerned in slay fug Mr. Mirfin made itself manifest in wholesale, head long, unreasoning hostility to all duelling, and all persons in any way concerned with it. The Times then was totally silent ; but now, when two persons have be come the victims of that excited feeling, and pity has taken the place of a thirst for punishment, and it has become evident that the convicted persons are visited with a se verity far beyond the ordinary custom of society, our Con temporary comes forward and floats with safety and with triumph upon the recoiling wave. This may be in one sense clever management ; but it is not very creditable either to the courage or the integrity of a " public instruc tor." We are not ashamed to confess that we were less cautious, and we encountered a storm of obloquy in conse quence from those whose minds were heated not only by the exciting details of the recent catastrophe, but by news papers, anxious to show off their common-place philosophy at a time when they knew it would be peculiarly accept able. We did not hesitate to put ourselves in fee way of being pelted on the one hand with the ponderous wordi ness of pedantic solemnity, and on the other with the flippant sophisms of affected theorists, who think the customs of the world are to be judged, and set right, by the elaborate fancies of utilitarian dreamers. We regret that at such a time when the assistance of the Times would have been really useful, upon the side which it now advo cates, that assistance was not afforded. We have been abused in all manner of newspapers, in all parts of the country, for haying defended and approved of, the practice of duelling. We never did any such thing, but always gave our readers to understand that we looked upon it as a lamentable necessity, arising out of the established cus tom of society, and the civilization (such as it is) prevailing among us. There are thousands of injuries which no law can redress—which it would be torture unutterable to endure without seeking some mode of redress—and which the custom of society points out to be redressed in one particular way. Nay more ; it is certain that whatever the law may say, society does look with scorn upon the man who under certain circumstances, does not seek for that mode of redress which the law denounces ; and while this is the case it is most unjust for society, or that which repr esen t s i ts f ee li ng i n the public press, to take credit for a sympathy with the law which is not really felt. It is very well that the law should be what it is, because cases now and then occur (and perhaps the late affair at Wimbledon-common m ly be one of them) in which some of the persons concerned are without such excuses as should hinder the penalty of the law from falling upon them in all its dread severity. But (society being what it is), to add to the state of the law the storm and outcry of indignant and indiscriminate reproach, and especially while judicial investigation of a particular case is yet in progress—this is certainly a very perilous course for such a 3 desire to use justly and fairly the influence they may happen to possess. If the custom of society can be changed in this matter of duelling, let it be changed ; for undoubtedly such a mode of arbitrament is directly repugnant not only to those dread commands which wa ought all to strive and endeavour to obey, but als o t o mere reason. Yet, rude a nd Barbarous and repugnant to reason as this check upon brutality. of conduct and behaviour must a pp ear to be, when tnemaically contemplated,yetsinc e the practical operation of the check is as unquestionable as any o th er palpable circumstance in the affairs of society, it will be highly expedient (since we cannot change broom, nature) nature) t o see k for some other pra it c . tica\lvciltiletcrkesipnecitts to the before we utterly dispense with persons said to be sentenced to a year's irrinrisonment in Guildford gaol, it certainly does seem a case of severity, for upon their trial no evidence was given to show that they either promoted the duel at which they were present, or that they were persons of ferocious habits, and likely to join in an affair which they hoped or expected shouldend in the death of a follow -creature. If evidence. of that kind had been given, we should not say one word in their be half.—Morning Post. We have often had occasion to notice the method in which the whole tribe of the economi , ts—including, under that term, the journalists and c ssay ; s ,, , who paraphrase month by month, week by week, or day by day, the dog mata of the great apostles of political economy —we have often bad occasion to notice the method in which that noisy and impudent school of rcosoners conducts its arguments in favour of free trade. But. we have rarely seen all the peculiar graces of that school—its shufflings, its equivoca tions, its tendency to forget, when convenient, its own pre mises, its instinctive habits of evading reasoning, which cannot easily be answered—more fully illustrated than in the reply which the Globe of Saturday proffered to furnish to the Herald's observations on the relative tendencies of the agricultural and manufacturing systems, which England has, at different periods, witnessed. The following passage is characteristic of the monkey school of reasoners—that school of which the Globe is the most distinguished ornament—and in which grin and chatter and all the other monkey-like indications of self-suffi ciency are the habits that recommend to eminence : "The absurdities to which are driven the thick•and-thin or gans of exclusive landed ascendancy would be amusing if they were not humiliating. The Herald makes the Globe admit a palpable decline in the amount of national happiness since the beginning of the reign of George the Second.' And the Standard reiterates the assertion which forms its sole argu ment on the Corn-law question, and which it hugs with the fondness felt for an only child—that all countries which im port food must decline from that cause. This the Standard calls presenting a win's view L q uery, a view wide] of the question—a sort of width of view not uncommon in the same quarter. Is my Lord well, that he doth talk so wide " The twin assumptions founded on by the Corn-law advo cates are—first, that it is practicable to remain wholly inde pendent of foreigners; secondly, that any degree of depen dence of foreigners necessarily involves the total destruction of our internal resources. The utterly untenable nature of both these assumptions is evident at a glance. Supposing we had srid, what we never did,—nor Mr. Hallam, whom we quoted— nor Mr. Malthus, whom he quoted—that increasing trade had drawn after it declining happiness----still, if that increase were a necessity, in the present distribution of property, and con stantly-increasing population—what remedy r The name of a respected evening contemporary is mixed up with that of the Herald in the choice effusion, which we have just quoted. We do not presume to fight the battles of the Standaid. The eloquence and logical power of our Conservative contemporary need no extrinsic aid, even in a struggle much more formidable than any which the Whig-Radical journals are c:ualified to wage. We ven ture, therefore, to reply only for ourselves. The Globe, it will be perceived, denies having admitted " a pdpable decline in the amount of national happiness since the be ginning of the reign of George the Second ;"—and yet, subsequently, our Ministerial contemporary, indirectly re iterates the admission in question, by adverting to it, as " a necessity." True, thee " necessity" is advanced, hypo theticaily ; but the hypothesis is never, afterwards, dis turbed. If that hypothesis do not shadow forth the truth —the truth, at all events, is cruelly withheld by the Globe. The following sentences, moreover, bear out our inter pretation of our Whig contemporary's previous state ments : " What would these fanatics for starvation have of us? Would they have us retain to the purely agricultural state ? Would they have us independent of imports ?" We have never protested against "increasing trade." We have never contended for the establishment of a state, in which England should be " independent of imports." But we have protested against the extension of a false system of trade. We haveprotested ag.linst a system of commercial legislation, which tends to an extreme, the opposite of" in dependence of imports"—:in extreme which tends to ren der us absolutely dependent on foreigners—which has, already, enabled for..ign consumers to fix the prices of most of our manufactured commodities, and of which the boasted consummation is to be,—the infliction of artificial sterrility upon the soil of England ! Would the friends of native industry—" the fanatic? adverted to by the Globe have us to return to the purely agricultural state ?" We, as participating in the fanaticism in question, venture to answer, that the admissions of the Globe itself, furnish sufficient reasons, at all events, for not receding further from the agricultural state than we have already done. The admissions of our contemporary furnish, in truth, very strong reasons for maintaining the Corn laws. The mode in which our Whig antagonist has shuf fled out of the various positions in opposition to agricul ture, which he successively assumed, is curious. In the first place, the Globe enlarged on the benefits conferred by the factory system on OU7 labouring population. The land, it was alleged, had " thrown off" immense masses of labourers, who, but for our factories, must have been vagrants or beggars: We denied the accuracy of this as sumption. We proved that the land had never " thrown of" any portion of its population, until a most unfair sy s tem of taxation was devised, and brought into operation—a system of taxation, having for its object, the repression of agricultural enterprise, and the advancement, by unnatursl means, of foreign trade. Did the Globe venture to answer our statements ? No. Our brisk contemporary was, simply, mute on the subject of the advantage s , _ ascribed, in the first instance, to the factory system! But then, we were told that the condition of the agricultural classes is wretched when compared with the condition of the manufac turing operatives ! Here, again, we joined issue with our anti-agricultural contemporary; and we proved that whether the amountof remuneration, or the sacrifice of ease and com fort, be regarded, the condition of the agricultural classes— deteriorated as it has been by the spirit of false legislation which has for upwards of a century postponed the interests of agriculture to the interests of trade—is yet incomparably less miserable than the condition of at least nine-tenths of those who participate in the blessings of the vaunted factory system. Does the Globe venture to reiterate its assertions in regard to the relative advantages of the agri cultural state, and our manufacturing state—based on such economical principles as now prevail ? No. The Globe, in the true spirit of Whiggery, shrinks from avowing its in ability to maintain its positions—and takes refuge in the assertion that the Herald desires to witness the re establishment of " a beggarly system of agriculture." The agricultural system of England never was " beg garly." All the manufacturing capital, of which the Globe is so proud, was raised from the soil—nay, was diverted (as we proved last week) from the cultivation of the soil, by the influence of a series of most unfair Le gislative enactments. Had our system of taxation been honest the agriculture of England would still have re mained in the ascendant. Not that we should have re mained without manufactures and commerce ! Quite the reverse ! We should have enjoyed the benefit of extended manufacturing and commercial systems, based on sound principles, and dependent on the extension of the field of agricultural industry. Under the operation of sound fiscal principles we should not have witnessed, as we do at this moment, in England, vast tracks of uncultivated land, vast masses of " surplus capital," together with a " surplus po pulation," comprehending nearly a million of hand-loom weavers in a state of semi-starvation.—Morning Herald. On Friday night, between the hours of eight and 11 o'clock, a very daring and extensive robbery of jewellery and other valuables was effected at the residence of Madame Bouchet, a French lady of considerable fortune, rTsiding at SS, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square. It appears from in quiries made, that on Madame Bouchet retiring to her cham ber, a little before 11 o'clock, she discovered that her boudoir had been broken open, and jewellery, consisting of diamond brooch-clasps, pearl carings, finger rings of different descrip tions, with many other valuable articles, had been carried off. Information of the rubbery was immediately conveyed to the station-house, and Mr. Lincoln, the superintendent, and Mr. Anderson, of the D division, set about tracing the robbers. It is supposed that they entered by the area door at the time the family was at dinner. The value of the property stolen exceeds 500/.

We are assured that the negotiations with Prussia for prolonging the iron railroad cf Amsterdam and Ainheim as far as the frontiers, and then through the Prussian domi nions to Cologne, proceed favourably. An association of con siderable bankers in Germany is said to have declared itself ready to undertake this promising enterprise. It seems that they only wait for the publication of the law respecting iron railroads in Prussia.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1838. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON.—MoNDAY. (Before Mr. MYLNE.) John Joseph Taylor had claimed to be inserted in the re gistry as a freeman of the Coopers' Company, but it appeared that the claimant's namo was entered in the list of the livery men of that Company as John Taylor ; and though the Clerk of the Company admitted the identity of the claimant with the person whose name was contained in that list, he stated at the same time that he had no power to alter it, until the correction bad first been made at the Chamberlain's Office, fer by making such a correction he would deprive Mr. Taylor's ap prentices of their freedom. Upon that state of circumstances the Court had deferred its opinion. Mr. MrnrcE this morning gave his decision, and said that he was bound to insert in the registry the name by which the claimant was pleased in his claim to be called. (Before Mr. CRAIG.) The lists for the parishes of St. Alphage, St. Andrew's Undershaft, and Allhallows Staining, underwent revision to day ; but the following case was the only one presentin the smallest particle of interest :—ln the parish of Allbea e- lows Staining, Mr. Spaeth had, an a former day, been ajected to by the Conservatives, on the ground that he was an alien. The collector had then stet :d that Spaeth had admitted him self to be a foreigner, and that he spoke with a foreign ac cent; but that he thought he had letters of denization. Mr. Gregory expressed his opinion that there was sufficient suspi cion about the use to call for the production of the letters of denization, and the case was postponitd. To-day a clerk of Mr. Spaeth appeared, but he knew nothing about anv letters of denization, and would not swear that Mr. Spaeth spoke with a foreign accent. Mr. GREGORY submitted that the letters ought to be pro , duce& Mr. CRAIG said there was, in his opinion, no sufficient cause shown for calling on Mr. Spaeth to produce his letters of de- The o'oj:ction was disallowed. MIDDLESEX.—MONDAY. Messrs. COVENTRY and SHADWELL, the Revising Barristers, sat this morning in the rooms over the new Courts, Guildhall, for the revision of the lists of voters within the precincts of the city of London. Mr. Coppock, the objector-general, whose name was ex punged from the Bedfont list, attended in person, to support the Radical interest. (Before Mr. COVENTRT.) The list of St. Botolph, Billingsgate, not hAving heel af fixed to the church doors in tim", the objections to names contained in it fell to the ground. The claim of Mr. Brown, the Warden of the Fleet Prison, svgs objected to by the Ra dicals. The claim was in right" of his freehold office; but as it appeared that he was allowed a vote for the City in right of this qualificatiorf, his present claim was rejected. (Befora Mr. SHADWELL.

AN EXCELLENT TENANT. —Jane Martha Moore, an elderly female, applied upon her petition to be discharged. The in solvent was not opposed. From the questions put by the Learned Commissioner, it appeared that the insolvent had rented a house adjoining the St. James's Theatre, from Mr. Braham, in which she carried on the business of a dealer in cigars. Business being bad, she either could not, or forgot to pay, her rent, and had removed the greater part of her goods. A gentleman who attended for Mr. Braham said that gen tleman was anxious to get possession of the premises ; a dis. tre.s had been put in, but only a few pounds had been obtained in consequence of the insolvent removing nearly the whole of her goods. Mr. Commisioner BOWEN told the insolvent, who did not appear at all desirous to give up the house, that it was a most unjust thing to take a house, and then not to pay the rent. In the course of the invest;gation, it appeared that the first quarter's rent was due on the 25th of June, and the other on Saturday last. Mr. 'Commissioner BOWEN observed that the Court could not discharge her from either of the quarter's rents, inasmuch, as the insolvent had filed her petition on the 20th of June. The Court had not the power to order possession, unless a debt existed. _ _ _ The insolvent, it appeared, had bean previously discharged under an order of the Court, in February, 1833. She stated that the cause of that insolvency was her unfortunately accepting two accommodation bills. Mr. Commiss'oner BoWEN told th• insolvent if she would give up possession he would not require her to procure the consent of her creditors. It was rather too bad to cheat the landlord out of his rent and keep possession also. The insolvent, after a good deal of grumbling, consented to give ap the house. The case was then adjourned to Thursday, in order to af ford her an opportunity of doing so. THE CORN LAWS (From the Somerset County Gazette.) The movement against the Corn-laws is growing serious. The country is beginning to take up the question in right earnest. It is not a little gratifying to find that the farmers arc rapidly arriving at the conviction that it is their interest to abolish laws which benefit only the landlord and the corn merchant, to the serious damage of all the rest of the commu- • nity, themselves included. As it is certain to be a prominent subject of iiscussion in the next Session of Parliament, our readers will not be sorry to learn that two Members connected with this county base already recorded their votes against these " Devil's Laws" as they have been aptly termed by The Sun. Mr. Labeuchere, the Member for Taunton, although one of the Ministry— (he is much too good for them)—is an avowed and strenuous opponent of the Corn-laws. On several occasions he has voted against them and he will do so again, and help, we trust, by his profound knowledge of the subject and his great and deserved influence in the legislature in procuring their speedy abolition. Mr. Bainbridge, the other Member for our borough, also voted against them on the last division, so that the people of Taunton will at least contribute their share to wards the salvation of their country. But there must be an expression of public opinion upon this subject through its legitimate organ, public meetings. Yeti. tons should go up from every town, previously to the next Session, canine for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The univer sal cry of a suffering people will be rejected, we believe, be cause the Parliament does not represent the people, but it will hasten on more important reforms still. We do, however, entreat our readers not to suffer even the Corn-law agitation to withdraw them from the m ore impor t tant efforts for the ballot and a simplified suffrage. By ob taining the last you insure the first, bit by seeking only the first, while it is more then doubtful whether it could be ob tained, even if won, the battle must be gone over again to win the last. Among the opponents of the Corn-laws in this county is one whose opinion, as an extensive landowner and gentleman of much experience and deep reflection upon the subject, will be valued. We allude to Sir T. B. Lethbridge. That Hon. Baronet was their determined opponent in Parliament when they first stained-the statute-book—he is their zellous oppo nent now. He proposed then, he proposes now, a fixed duty instead of a fluctuating one, with this difference, that for merly he suggested a high fixed duty, he nould now prefer a low fixed duty. In any endeavour which may be made by this county to rid the country of an incubus which weighs upon its energies and cramps its efforts, the Honourable Baronet will no doubt take a prominent part, and the example of so great a landowner cannot fail to put rn end to the absurd fears of many persons who have taken up the strange notion that if the Corn-laws were abolished land would go out of cultivation. Sir T. Lethbridge would show them a very dif ferent picture. He would tell them of his own experience in the wool tax—of the manner in which free trade in corn would make farming a steady pursuit, yielding equal profits, instead of being a mere gambling speculation—of the substi tution of one kind of prouce for another—of land improved in value by the progress of the arts and the extension of towns, end he would pion the sincerity of his arguments by point ing to his own broad domains, ranging from the rich plains of Lydeard to the bleak hills of Luxboreugh, anal saying, " If by abolishing the Corn-laws the evils will result that you pro phecy, by advocating their abolition I am ur o o'ng my own ruin. There is the pledge of my sincerity and of the earnestness of my conviction." We trust very soon to hear the Honourable Baronet dis course upon the subject at some public meeting. He will find many to second him, for we are acquainted with several landholders whose opinions on this topic chime w ith his. , Some time since advertisements Inquiring for the next of kin of a man named Francis Braddel, were inserted in various newspapers. Braddel was a native of Castlecomer, in the county of Kilkenny, and left this country about forty years ago for America, where he resided until his death, a few months ago. He had amassed property to the amount, we understand, of about 250,0001., and the " next of kin," the successor to this immense property, turns out to be a pri vate of the 94th Regiment, at present in Cork garrison! His name is Joseph Braddel, and he is nephew to the deceased. The requisite steps to obtain possession of the money have been taken, and the necessary declarations made.—Limerick Paper. QUARRELS.—Two things well considered would prevent many quarrels : first, to have it well ascertained whether we arc not disputing about terms rather than things; and, secondly, to examine whether that on which we differ is wcrth contending about.— Colton. The weather has been somewhat broken during the week, but a good deal of grain has been cut notwithstanding. there are yet, however, many green fields : and the felt. is that in some of the cold lands, in the higher parts of this county, there is much corn that will never ripen. —Carlisle Journal. PUBLIC BUILDINGS.—The reproach that has so long rested on Sunderland, that it does not possess a single public building at all worthy of its wealth and general impor tance, is about to be wiped away. A subscription, in ten pound shares, to erect an elegant edifice, containing a lecture room, museum, exhibition-room, &c., has just been opened, with a degree of success that leaves no doubt that the object in view will be speedily attained. We hope such of our fellow townsmen as have not already subscribed will at once step for.. ward in support of this desirable measure, which, it is reason ably calculated, will prove beneficial to its promoters, even in a pecuniary point of view.—Sunderland Herald. LEA RNlNG.—Learning, if rightly applied, makes a young man thinking, attentive, and industrious, confident and wary ;an old man, cheerful and reserved. 'Tis an orna ment in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, an entertainment at all times. It cheers in solitude, and moderates upon a throne. On Saturday morning, about half-past nine, as three men were working the large crane fixed on the Now Pier, at Chatham-place, its load overpowered them, and they were precipitated into the river, then at high water. The skull of one of them was so dreadfully fractured by the handle of the crane, and also by the stone it held, that he was con veyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital apparently dead. The others escaped with only a ducking. Too much praise cannot be given to the whole body of labourers, coal-porters , and others, whose prompt assistance saved the lives of the others.

After all, Peace in the married state is only to be found in virtuous and healthy children ; and if a wife would have exemplary ' Oll3 , and happy, prudent, and heart-pure daughters, let her never look for that in the offspring of that man whose life, at the time, when the mind, brain, and constitution are being formed, has been passed in the profligate debaucheries of modern society. Until women remember, when they are a sked in marriage, that they arc not only to become wives but mothers —that a poor, plain, sober, and virtuous man possesses gifts which must produce far greater future happi ness than all the wealth and rank of Creestis without these qualities, and the domestic felicity is to be found at the fire side, not in the carriage or ball-room, society will never ad vance in the direction best calculated to secure its ultimate im provement.—Sidney Smith's Phrenology.

This railway is to be oFened on Saturday the Gth proximo. Gen tlemen from all quarters, including the Provosts of Arbroath, Perth, Forfar, Montrose, and other towns, are to be present. Few lines combine so many advantages as the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. It passes through a level country, with no inclination on the Railway which can be at all persTived ; indeed, we believe four-fifths of the whole extent is a perfect level. There are no tu•:ncls, and no expensive work of any magnitude; and, from the handsome and truly liberal con duct of Lord Panmure, who, we are glad to hear, is to be present at the opening, the greater part of the land required has been obtained at a nominal rent. With these manifold advantages, and with an expenditure of only 6,0001. p er m il e , the: present undertaking* cannot fail to prove profitable to the shareholders, and of great benefit to the community._Dundee Advertiser. RECIPES.-The white of an egg frothed, a table spoonful of brandy in a wineglass of hot water, mixed and grated plentifully with nutmeg, is an infallible remedy for cramp or cholic. A very mild, safe, and effective relief, and frequently a perfect cure of dyspeptic and bilious attacks, is made as fol lows :—A pint of best French brandy, an ounce of best Turkish rhubarb pulverised, and a half ounce of caraway seed, shaken well together and stood awhile to settle. A table spoonful (more or less, as the case requires) should be taken before meds, until the disease is removed. The rage for erecting gin palaces has spread into the country towns—one in Hull, which is pompously advertised in the local papers, is surmounted with the Royal standard, and has other splendid ornaments and decorati.ms to attract the pence of the paupers.

IN THE HATTER OF SIR THOMAS CHAMPNEYS, BART. This case came before the COURT on an important point. Mr. Hugh Evans Fisher, an attorney, applied to be allowed to prove a debt against the estate of Sir Thomas Champne3s, Bart., under his insolvency in 1827, for a larger sum than was set forth in the schedule. Sir Thomas had on two occasions been discharged under the Act, and the present application was in reference to his first estate. From an affidavit, and a long statement of Mr. Fisher, it appeared that before the discharge of Sir Thomas in 1827, and whilst he was in custody, he gave him (Fisher) a promissory note, at twelve months, for 501., in full payment of upwards of 3001., which he alleged was owing to him for professional bu siness ; and at the same time, he gave Sir Thomas a memo randum, stating that the note was given in full of all demands. Sir Thomas soon afterwards took the benefit of the Act, and inserted Mr. Fisher in his schedule as a creditor for 50/, on the note so given. About three years afterwards a negotia tion was entered into to pay the creditors a composition. Mr. Fisher then agreed to take 751. as a composition of 55. in the pound on 3001. A payment of 501. was made to him, and he had also received 351. for giving up certain title deeds. In the year 1833, Mr. Fisher brought an action against Sir Thomas for an alleged balance. The caso was referred, and the arbitrator decided 1751. to be due to him. He now claimed this balance, with the costs of the action, and prayed to be so considered. The Court consulted for some time. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN was in favour of the application. Same discussion arose as to the costs. The Court did not think they should be considered. Mr. Commissioner LAW said the provisional Assignee should consult, and if the Solicitor for the second estate con sented, Mr. Fisher could receive a payment on 1751., the amount fixed by the award. The matter so rests, being decided virtually in favour of Mr. Fisher. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John Saunders, aged nine years, was placed at the bar before Mr. BENETT, charged by Mr. Charles Mic kle, master tailor, of No. 62, Theobald's-road, Red Lion square, with having stolen two waistcoats. The prisoner cried bitterly, and denied the charge. His mother, a distressed-looking woman, who was much aff cted, stepped forward and entreated mercy for the pri riner, saying that she was a poor widow with eight children, and she strove to bring them up as respectably as she could. " rvly poor child," she said, " was never in such a place be fore, and he has not been able to eat a morsel of food ever since he has been in custody." Mr. BENETT said it would he better to punish the boy and stop him in his progress in time ; if that course was not adopted, he would, no doubt, leave that office and commit another offence. Mother (crying)—What you please your Worship, but my heart is almost broken. Mr. BENETT had no doubt of it, but he would remand the prisoner until Wednesday next. Mother—Very well, your Worship; but nobody knows where the shoe pinches but the wearer. She then left the office convulsed with grief, and the pri soner was locked up. Alfred and Percival Batton:ley (brothers) were placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Richard Coventry, jeweller, of Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell, the former with having stolen seve ral gold guard-chains and other jewellery, and the latter with having received the same knowing them to have been stolen. After evidence had been heard, the prisoner Percival was discharged, but the other prisoner was remanded. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. Louisa Shaw was yesterday brought before. Mr. CHAM BERS, charged with shoplifting. In defence the prisoner said she was in liquor or she would not have so acted. She was fully committed. QUEEN- SQUARE. Mary Davis, alias Fasey, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwel ling-house of Mrs. Margaret Isabella Davis, and stealing therein a cash-box, containing three 101. notes, five 51. notes, forty-one sovereigns, and other monies. M rs . Margaret Isabella Davis, proprietor of the Shakspeare Tavern, Eaton-street, Pimlico, stated that the prisoner for.. mcrly lived in her service, and had quitted it the beginning of last November. At one o'clock on Sunday morning, th e at't of March, the prosecutrix retired to her sleeping apart ment, which was on the second floor, leaving the doors and windows of the house properly secured, and taking with her up stairs a cash-box and a tin hoz, the former of which was locked and the latter left open, having no fastening. Haling locked the door of her sleeping-room she placed the two boxes on the drawers. The cash-box contained three 101. notes, five 5/. notes, forty one sovereigns, five half-sovereigns, six half crowns, seventy-three shilling, ninety-three sixpences, some tourpenny-pieces, and twopence halfpenny in copper money. There were seven pound's worth of silver in parcels in the tin box. Prasccutrix immediately afterwards went to bed, and after she had laid down a few minutes heard a noise under her bed, which did not create any alarm in her mind, as she thought it was the kitten at play, and she then fell asleep. At about six in the morning, on her awakening, she was much surprised at finding her bedro om d oor, which she had locked the previous night, open ; and on turning her eyes towards the drawers found both boxes gone, and also seven and sixpence, which had been i n h er pocket the previous n i g h t . She gave the larm, and her brother came down stairs and also the servant. While they were engaged talking, pro he,,r t the ,a,,h ~ f tin; drawing-room window open, and a :lois: , in the Ttrcr2t, as though some person lied jumped out, They all hastened to :he spot, but could not dLcera any body, it being only just daybreak. The tin-box which had contained the seven pounds worth of silver was found lying on the floor. The fastenings of the lower part of the house had not been broken. Mrs. Letitia Johnson, of No. 42, St. John's-square, Clerken well, stated that the prisoner resided in her house as lodger, and had done so for nearly three months prior to the begin ning of March. On Saturday, the 3d of that month, prisoner went out in the evening, first informing witness that she should be late that night, or might not return home until the morn ing. Prosecutrix saw nothing of her until about nine the fol lowing morning, when she came in with something under her cloak, and went to hor box in the back parlour, which she un locked. She then went out, and did not again return. In a few hours afterwards a police constab!e named Fowl , r, and on making inquirica, was sb,..xn the prison Cr'S box, which he sealed. On.thq following day he again came, and broke the box open in the - ,resence of witness, who saw him tale out the cash-box no x produced, and seven parcels of silver money which h ere lying looge in the box. The prisoner declined saying any thing in defence.—She was fully committed for trial for the capital (fllttice. rThri LL. Yesterday John Sullivan, an ail, etie. man, wag brought be fore Mr. SWABEI, charged with stealing a gold watch and seals, value 351., the property of Mr. D.

Ilyde, who described himself as a clerk in a mercantile office, was brought up before Mr. CUM and Mr. GIBSON, a County Magistrate, charged with preaching in the open air, so as to cause an obstruction in the public thoroughfare. The defendant was placed in front of the bar. Some Dissenting Ministers were present, and the office was crowded wish the attendance of the defendant's friends. Several inhabitants, who live in Charles-street, Hackney road, deposed that every Sunday afternoon the defendant was there, and preached with such a powerful voice that their families were quite disturbed in their domestic affairs. They wished for retirement on the Sunday, but of this they were deprived, owing to the vehemence of the defendant's manner. The defendant stated that he had permission to preach by a gentleman of the name of Palmer. He had continued there far the last six months, and no complaint was ever made until within the last few days. They were always careful to prevent any annoyance, and allow room for two persons to pass ; but there was no thoroughfare through the street, and he had never seen but mice a carriage pass down. The street was sixty feet wide, and there wes always room for a coach to pass. If he hod committed himself he was very sorry, and if there were a law against it, he should in future not go contrary. Mr. I'. Palmer, zinc-manufacturer, Charles-street, Hack ney-road, was next sworn. He for some time argued upon the duty and policy of public preaching in the public high way, when Mr. CODD said he thought that he (the witness) had better confine himself to the charge against the d4endant. Mr. Palmer then said that there were but few of the neigh. boors who complained; but, there being no thoroughfare through th. 3 street, he considered that they were not acting contrary to law. The defendant remarked that there were above fifty highly respectable persons who would come forward, but he had been advised by his friends not to bring forward any more. Mr. Coon said that if only one complained, and the 1a , .7 de clared that an obstruction was created, a Magistrate was bound to interfere. He did not wish to press severely, particularly as the defendant promised net to offend if his conduct was ille gal. He should, therefore, discharge the defendant. The defendant then left with his friends. The General Steam Navigation Company's Pac ket the Columbine, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom house on Sunday. HOP INTELLIGENCE —WORCESTER, SEPT. 28. _We had little business transacted io our market on Satur day, the few sales effected bring limited amongst the trade and speculators, as the prices asked by :he planters were higher than could be realized, only 8 pockets of 1837's passed the scales, an unusually small quantit) f,:r this period of the year.

The second arch, which connects the land severed by the Railway at Balsall Heath is now in course of erection. We have every reason to believe that Sir John Herschell declines the honour of being put in nomination as the successor to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, in the chair of the Royal Society. In fact, his contemplated residence in the country, as well as h's various engagements and pursuits, both scientific and domestic, are, we confess with regret, a sufficient excuse for his declining the proposed honour. We have not, at present, heard of any other name auggested.—Athenceum. THE ITA vEsT.—The past week has been very unfavourable for field operations, and consequently the progress made in the harvest has been limit, d. Monday was favoura ble, when there was a demand fur sile:zrers, with a slight ad vance on the wages—lacing 2s. ; but since, that day the wol k has been suspended in consequence of heavy rains. This day, however, there is a decided improvement, with every indica tion of a continuance of fine weather, which at this moment appears as favourable as any we have experienced this summer. Notwithstanding the late unsettled stite of the weather, we are convinced that full one-half of the crops in our neighbourhood is cut down, a fair portion of which has been led into the stackgarth. Some of the fields still look green, but a few days like the present must make a material change, when the conclusion of the harvest may be expected to be very rapid, and an increased demand for reapers will raise the wages, which as yet have been very low, and must have occasioned great disappointment to that class who anticipate much benefit from their earnings at this season. The Irish people and other strangers must be poorly remunerated for their emigration this year, the wages being so low (in many instances not ex ceeding nine shillings per week), and the scarcity of employ ment.—Berwick Advertiser. THE LATE DUEL.—The sentence of death re corded against Mr. Young and Mr. Webber for their partici pation in the late duel, has been commuted to twelve months imprisonment in Guildford gg.ol. On Thursday a vessel, loaded with bark, arrived freely at Sneddon Quay, drawing 8i feet of water. This is a greater draught of water than any vessel ever arrived at Sned don with before. Previous to the improvement, 6 and 6/ feet of water was the greatest draught that any vessel could get up the Cart with.—Glasgow Chronicle. On Thursday night, after the fire had been extin guished on the premises of Mr. Edmunds, in B.nnett-street, Stamford-street, a lamentable accident happened to one of the engineers of the Farringdon-street Station. It appears that while the horses were being attached to the engine, the reins fell at the hind feet of the horses, and Storey, the engineer, was in the act of lifting them from the ground, when one of the animals, a grey mare, kicked him in the face. The poor fellow was rendered for a time completely insensible, and bled profusely from the wound he had received. He was instantly removed to a surgeon's, where upon examination it was ascer tained that his forehead and nose were dreadfully bruised, and his skull laid bare. A cab was procured and he was conveyed home to the Station, where he remains with his wife and family a dreadful spectacle, and with but slight hopes of recovery. Storey has been a fireman for many years. THE WEATHER.—During the last few days the weather has been unfavourable for harvest operations ; a con siderable quantity of rain has fallen, varied by a drizzling dis agreeable sleet. Shearing has of course been suspended ; but last night the atmosphere cleared up, and it is to be hoped that the rain will be productive of no other evil than the delay which it has caused, and which, in the present backward state of the crops, is of itself a serious inconvenience.—Edinburgh Courant. THE HOPS.—We have latterly described the crops of Hops in the Hereford District as smaller than described in most other reports; but, limentable to say, the crop is much below our anticipations. The picking is fast closing ; many growers have finished ; the quality is pretty good, the hop smell. The bulk varies, but we hear of none that exceeds an eighth of the produce of last year. We observe that the ac counts from the Kent and Sussex Districts arc very bad, and we cannot understand how, in the face of such reports, the estimated duty keeps so high as 160,000/. Will it amount to 100,0001. ?—Hereford Times.

To the highest and most salient point of the building, such as the angle of a chimney, a pole should be attached surmounted by an iron point, about two feet long, and having a hook at the lower end, from which a rcpe should be suspended, made of rye, or other strong straw, three or four inches in circumference, passing along the roof and down the side of the building to the ground, which it must be made to enter by means of an iron chain fastened to its lower end. The electric fluid will be attracted by, and, it is said, will pass down this conductor as well as down a metallic one.
